In EDGE, Download folders shift from D: to Onedrive Downloads Unexpectedly

Hi. While using Edge to download 12 PDFs from a web site, I was able to download the first set of 12 fine to my D:\Download folder with no problem.

The next set of 12 all did NOT go into my D: but ended up (after a lot of frustrating searching) in my C:\User\Myname\OneDrive\Downloads.

Why? That was different from one download to another in the same Edge browser window! I did not change windows, nor close edge.

Truly weird. Thoughts?

Do you have the browser configured to ask about where to put each download?

No. I have been using computers since 1980. I’ve used browsers since they were first invented I’ve never seen one respond like this. It appears to be a bug in windows 11 and edge it is not happening in other  browsers
